At the moment, the fourth thin film transistor QL2 turns on so that the fourth voltage level VGL2 is conducted to the voltage level conversion output terminal Sig_out via the fourth thin film transistor QL2. The third thin film transistor QL1 turns off.

Because the clock signal is transited from the third voltage level VGL1 to the fourth voltage level VGL2, which is higher, the transition speed of the fourth voltage level VGL2 is greater and the transition accuracy of the fourth voltage level VGL2 is greater, too.
